Pallet racking for first-in first-out (FIFO) systems

FIFO - First-in first-out principle

The first-in first-out principle is used for goods that have a sell-by date or when monitoring changing production series.

In the FIFO principle, containers, boxes or cartons that were taken into storage first are also the first to be taken out again for further use. As a rule, this special form of storage is operated by forklift trucks or lift trucks on the lowest levels. To provide compliance with the corresponding withdrawal sequence, goods are stacked on one side of the rack and removed on the opposite side. Goods are transferred within the rack on gravity conveyor rollers (wheel conveyors) without needing any additional power.
